mobile accident during the parade in j
Portland, in which Benjamin Allen, |
one of the correspondents, in the Presi- j
dent's party, was killed. The Presi- ?
cent was visibly affected by this trag- ?
,-cdy, as he personally knew Mr. Allen.
The President at that time cancelled his '
proposed automobile trip to Stanford I
I niversity. Dr. Grayson af tire. time:
laying that the President had suffered
? otn a bad headache, and thai auto?
mobile trips in the future would he
ir ade as short as possible.
Ignored Friend's Warning
Day before yesterday, in conversa-!
on with one of his party who knows
intimately, the Presidenl was
warned against overexertion and ad
-??u to cut tho trip short, but he
_ ? toutly asset ted that he would iir.isn it
iccording to programme.
For the last three or four ?lays Mrs.
Wilson 'aas worn a worried look, and
are seemed unusual!;, depressed yester?
day during the President's address at
Pueblo.
From the beginning or the trip ?iie
['resident has been in tire habit of
standing in I is automobile with li?t .
off anil responding to the applause
? th bows and smiles. Sometimes
these street parades would cover ?in
lour's time and the strain from ??tand
ng in a moving car ".ourd become
acute. Mrs. Wilson quite often placed
? ? hand the President's back :o
? steady him and partially relieve the
. ahysica! sli'ain.
In in- Pueblo speech yesterday sit?
en oon Mr. Wilson's weariness became
more apparent than ever. He fre?
quently stopped t think of the right
word, As he seldom if ever lacks for
n word when he is feeling well, his
?usability yestrrday ivas 'he mote
. n- a) e?r*.
Another phase of the Pueblo meet
ig which scemod to worry Dr. Gray
?? on was that while the air was hot
??utside, ins'.h- the new Auditorium it
was noticeably cool, The Auditorium'
as used yesterday for the first time,
nd there was an odor of undried
, lastcr.
Walk Fails to Benefit Him
The President didn't seem to mind
'his, however, and made what seemed
*?? be one of the ?nos! effective of all
Ii - addres es. Il" had many of th<r
audience in tears, when he told of the
American cemetery near Paris, con
raining the graves of the American
boys- "those dear ghosts 'eat still de
, ploy upon the fields of I ranee," as he
phrased it.
Leaving Pueblo, he told Dr. Grayson
t n rit he was not feeling fit, and his
"^physician advised a welk in th<- conn- |
Iry. Tho train was nearing a small ,
Station named Baxter?a beet sugar'
??dump?when the President decided he i
would take a walk then and there.
Over the sun-baked fields to the:
- south of the Arkansas River, lined
with green cotton woods, the President j
snd Mrp. Wilson, Dr. Grayson, and four
members of th? White House staff j
trudged to the river. They dropped in
on one or two farmers, talked weather
and crops with them, received a head
of cabbage and apples from them, and
after a four-mile walk returned to
lite private car Mayflower. It was
hoped that this exercise under line
sun and in a clear atmosphere would
furnish the neeoed bracing up, but it
did not.
The mental strain under which the
? President has been passing is not
wholly a matter of conjecture. Tele?
grams by the dozen were received at
??very stop. Senator Hitchcock, of Ne?
braska, and others on guard in Wash
| murt?n were in dally communication,
with the President, who yesterday ex?
pressed gratification at receiving from
Senutor Ashurst, of Arizona, a pledge
that he would voto for the treaty witn
?>ut change. From a purely political
point of view this message from the
Arizona Senator was about the only |
tangible evidence received by the
1'resident that his long speaking tour

A plan for Mr. Wilson to go to ?Sew I

President Wilson was visited three ?
tames last night during his illness by
his physician. Dr. Cary T. Grayson. In !
the evening Dr. Grayson spent some
time with Mr. Wilson, and during the
night made another visit to the Presi- i

for his address. It was then that Dr.
Grayson, alter- an examination, took a
resolute stand against continuance of
the ?peaking trip. Secretary Tumulty
was called into the consultation, and ?
the two prevailed on the President to:
abandon his plans, an?! return to 'he

Meanwhile, the trun, officials, acting

Colonel B. Amidon, vice-chairman of
the Democratic National Committee
and the Democratic leader of the state,
fire incident was described to The
Tribune correspondent by Colonel
Amidon himself.
''Governor Alien,'' said the colonel,
"told me that as Governor her would

down and told him tha?Lhe would ha\e

WASHINGTON". Sept. 26. Despite
President Wilsons threat to pigeon?
hole the peace treaty if the Senate:
adopted reservations of which he dirt
approved, he will he rolil by several j
important Democratic Senators ini- ,
mediately upon his return to Washing?
ton that he must accept reservations,
and fairly .strong reservations at that.;
Before the news that the remainder
of the President's tour had been can- ''
celled on account, of his indisposition
had reached Washington. Senator
Hitchcock, the Administration leader,'
is understood to have wired the Presi?
dent itr?intr that he not dwell so much
in his speeches on the objections to I
proposed reservation?.
Mr. Hitchcock realized, und he '1*1
considered the most optimistic of all ;
the Administration Senators, that the
President's comments on the compro- ?
mise reservation on Article X had
tremendously increased the chances ;
for stronger reservations in the Sen- ?
r.ie. A direct result, i! was said, was |
the address yesterday of Senator Len-1
root speaking' for the "mild reserva
tioniets," serving notice that the treaty
would be rejected unless just such a;
r?servation were adopted ?c the Presi-|
denl had denounced its cutting the
heart ..-nt of the treaty.
Amendments Appear Certain
The Administration leaders realise |
to-night that the be^t they cari hop? I
for is to defeat the textual amend- ,
ments, anil to soften just <i lirtle the j
committee reservations. The soften?
ing, it is believed, already haa gone I
as far a*- ii pparently is going. Thai
was determined not in the Senate, bul
when President W::?.-,j.: denounced n
reservation on which friends ?>f the !
treaty, won wani reservations, ha?l
agre.ed.
Chances fot Liie adoption ol' the
lohnson amendment were revived a I
little to-day when Senator Cummins,
of Iowa, came out for strong reserva?
tions ?lid for this amendment, which
i would give flic United States an e?.ninl
vote with the British L'mpire in the
league of nations assembly. Mr. Cum?
mins thus furnished the Republicans
'with a distinct gain, the second within
the week, making up for the ioss of
| Senators lloke Smith and Ashurst ?in
the Democratic sitie. Thus, the amend?
ement haa :i slighl chance, although one

Cummins Says Wilson
Has Alienated World
toiva Senator Declares Aid to
Allies in War is Buried in
Protests Over League Pact \
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26. When
President Wilson ended his work at the
Paris peace conference, "the United
States had not a friend in Europe, Asia
or Africa and our brilliant service in
the war was almost forgotten in the
storm of protests which followed him
as he sailed for homy'" Senator Cum?
mins, Republican, of Iowa, declared to?
day in an address in the Senate attack?
ing the league of nations covenant.
"The only thing the President
brought with him which was joyfully
received in America by multitudes of
good people,"' Senator Cummins said,
"was a covenant for a league of nations
and this only because these people be?
lieved, many of them without Inquiry,
that the league would bring peace to a
war-weary world and would maintain it
in ?ill the years to come. Gradually
they are beginning to see the tremen?
dous burdens we are asked to assume
and gradually they are understanding
that there are some provision.-* in the
covenant which must inevitably pro
voke war."
Not Against Wilson
Senator Cummins deplore? the at?
tempt of some Senators to charge
other Senators with opposing the treaty
simply to discredit the President and
to accomplish their political designs as
veil ??s efforts of the latter group to
make it appear that those supporting
the President were indifferent, if not
hostile, toward the vital concerns of
their own countiy.
'"The casual observer in tire Senate,''
he a?l?'d. "would he inclined to reach
the ?'(inclusion iha tlje most influential
Senutors upon this *ide of the cham?
ber ate altogether insansib?e to the
?iwful horrors of war and air deter?
mined to keep trie world in conflici
simply ?o antagonize the Pr?sident or
to work out some petty ambition for
party supremanc.v, while nt the same
lime he could net well resist fhe in
! leruncc tira' the most persuasive Sena
j tors on the other sidcof the chamber
i are bent on wrecking their own coun
i try simply to vindicate the infallibility
! of the Chief Ext-cutive in bis work at
Paris."
Senator Cummins contended thu'
when the war ended "our exit should
; have been as speedy and complete as
possible." Tins did'not mean, however,
j ne added, that the United Staves should
have abandoned it?s allies or made a
separate peace with Germany, "but ii
does neu that it was ne our duty to
.associate ourselves with foseign pow
: ers in reforming the map of the world
. ??i:?i in agreeing to maintain it as the
; victors had made it."
Condemning disposition of Shan
; lung, Senator Cummins said ?;?1 wanted
to relieve the American republic "from
; ti?e eternal odium of '.lie Shantung
: crime," and from "the ?i:sgt ?<_'e of pass
; ing over Tinaco to Bulgai ia." There
j would be many Shantungs, 'ne said, an?!
if the principal associated powers
worked in harmony it would mean
nothing les-? than complete and arbi?
trary power of the world. As much as
? be deplored the wrong done China he
! would adhere, he said, to the principles

Senator Watson asked if England
